Trader Joe’s is known for its rotating seasonal offerings, and for many, part of the fun is rediscovering forgotten favorites. However, one returning item is sparking a divide among fans: the frozen seafood boil.
Food blogger Talia Heskett, who frequently shares updates on new and returning products at Trader Joe’s, recently revealed that the popular seafood boil is back in stores. The 22-ounce box contains a mix of corn on the cob, shrimp, clams, potatoes, andouille sausage, and tilapia in a spicy butter sauce, priced at $9.99. While some customers were excited about its return, others expressed mixed feelings.
On Instagram, fans shared their enthusiasm, with one commenter saying, “Happy to see the seafood boil back! We personally love it!” Other users agreed, praising the dish as “absolutely phenomenal” and giving it a “10/10” rating.
However, not all reactions were positive. Some customers questioned the choice of ingredients, with one asking, “Tilapia in a boil?!” Others found the price tag of $9.99 too steep for the product.
The response was similarly divided on TikTok. While some commenters expressed excitement, others hesitated, with one saying, “I saw the seafood boil a few days ago and thought about getting it but put it down! Need a review!”
With the seasonal item now back on shelves, fans will continue to debate whether the seafood boil lives up to the hype.
